    That was the win that catapulted Manny into superstardom beyond the boxing world.

    A great performance, though have to note that Oscar looked weight drained for that fight.

      It was a cash me out fight.
      DLH got 20 mil.
      Nice retirement egg.

        Yeah to all the catchweight and making weight factors, but I tell ya, it was a shock to watch ODLH take such a beating and look like a zombie/shot fighter/pod.

          Ha so far removed that is a good one, it was only a year after he boxed Mayweather and Mayweather's pops thought Oscar won.

            Oscar wanted higher and Manny wanted lower, 147 was where it landed, Oscar drained himself cant blame Manny for that, but it was a case of guy fighting at his correct ring weight, same as he was with a 129 weigh in, 144 fight night, and a guy that went to 154/60 for years and had not been at 147 for over 12 yrs and killing himself in the process, I blame Oscar it was a st_u_p_i_d thing to do, any of the top guys would have destroyed Oscar that night, it was the worst draining I seen since LaLonde and Chad Dawson.

            I can't believe that word is censored here.
            All of that just takes away from how bad Manny beat the brakes off Oscar.

              Oscar was far past his prime when he fought PAC and Mayweather. Just a money grab.

                Not according to Mayweather.

                Mayweather told Brian Kenny they both were in their 30s and he didn't want to hear that Oscar was too old or shopworn.

                  Pac would never have fought that DLH.

                  They don't call him the Catchweight King for nothing

                  His biggest wins -
                  Cotto Lite
                  Shot Margarito
                  Shot DLH

                    Pac said no to a no clause rematch with Cotto

                      Strange how Mighty Manny went quack quack on a HORN rematch.
